Bioinspired fabric architecture harnessing anisotropy for omnidirectional mechanical protection

Yuanyuan Tian, Hanzhi Chi, Wei Shian Tey, Zuoqi Zhang et al.

Short summary

A novel bioinspired fabric architecture, mimicking tooth enamel, achieves spatially uniform mechanical enhancement and 1.85x higher specific strength and 1.92x higher specific energy absorption by harnessing, rather than mitigating, the inherent anisotropy of powder bed fusion-printed composites.
